There's no catalogue on United Auction's Stirling website at all.  Sometimes the breed societies don't want the catalogues available online, they want people to come to the sale and buy a catalogue there.  Raises funds and gets people off the sofa and down to the livestock pens and sale ring.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Thats all fine and well about going to sale and seeing whats there.But what its the point of going and theres nothing there to interest you to buy thats a waste of your time and waste of diesil taking the float as well. If they put a catalogue online you could then see whats there and make the decision to go or stay at home and sit on sofa (ha ha) like theres time to do that.
